CRu1853!!

Torquer, thanks for the idea.

CruiserBruce, thanks

MARY229, thanks.

RIDE-THE-WAVES, thanks for sharing the information. 

Thanks a lot for the info. Hope you all stayed safe with the hurricane. 

We are looking into booking a cruise in 2025 to either the British Isles or the Norwegian fjords. We have never flown transatlantic but we will be using HAL FlightEase.  Does HAL have a favored airline/airlines they use that is known? We would be starting our trip from Florida and I would think that we would need to fly to a major airport in the northeast for the transatlantic portion. I am an ahead of time planner 😂 and I know things can always change but I wanted to look into the seating areas for the airlines on their longer flights. Thanks to all.

Rich I am now updated with all of your posts. I appreciate the time and thought that you have put into them. I will keep following and wish you many more great experiences.

We sailed from FLL in January and parked in one of the on-site garages. Sail time was 3pm and we arrived around 1100. I believe it was the Palm parking garage and was directly across from Terminal 26. There were plenty of spaces on the upper decks but still under cover from the elements. No problem.

Kazu, thank you for reading.

Hey Kazu, I did not see the January 14, 2023 Nieuw Statendam Caribbean cruise listed. Is something up? Thanks.

Have a terrific trip Father.

Something has changed and I can’t find where to top on the emoji type images to respond to forum posts.

No I was looking at the area that runs right down the middle of the inside cabins starting at the aft elevators.

Thanks

From original poster:

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. I am looking to book one of the extended verandahs in the aft portion on deck four. Does anyone actually know what the grey area is in the middle or have experience in that area with noise levels?

Thanks

We have a PCC that we have used in the past but I have been looking at these new deals online. I was wondering if any of you routinely book online and if I do will our PCC get any credit for it? Also will the PCC know about any open cabins not showing online or any other perks that are available. Thank you.

Hi all, I am looking for comments pro and con regarding the extended verandahs on deck four of the Nieuw Statendam. Thanks.

Thanks for the great posts. Enjoyed reading them and seeing great pictures.

I like the aft facing staterooms. Less foot traffic in the hallways, as cruzn single said it’s basically straight up or down to restaurants and I just like the beauty of the aft wake. 😁

I know things may change but I’m just trying to work out what we will need to do. In May we are sailing from Alaska disembarking in Vancouver. We will spend one night in Vancouver then flying out to US. Do you think we will be taking the rapid test as we get off the ship to meet requirements? Thanks all.

I was wondering if any one has eaten lunch at the Cape Fox Lodge and if so how was it and how did you get there from cruise port.

Thanks.

Cruiseryyc, thanks.

Hi, just wondering if anyone here has eaten lunch at the Cape Fox Lodge restaurant? If so how did you get there from cruise ship and how was it ? Thanks

Interested in this also. We will be cruising In May from Whittier to Vancouver, staying one night in Vancouver then flying back to Florida. So I guess since we are flying in from foreign country we will need this kind of testing. When it is closer to May I will see what requirements are.

Copper10_8, thank you for the info about the pics. As always have enjoyed your commentary.

Florida Gal, I know it’s strange. I can see some but not all and especially missed most of the earliest postings.
